Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these final results of review to 

interested parties within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Commerce shall determine and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review pursuant to 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.212(b). For ULMA, we 

calculated importer-specific assessment 

rates on the basis of the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for each 

importer’s examined sales and the total 

entered value of those sales in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

Where an importer-specific assessment 

rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), the entries by that importer 

will be liquidated without regard to 

antidumping duties. For entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by ULMA for which it did not 

know its merchandise was destined for 

the United States, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 

all-others rate in the original less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation 11 if 

there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.12 For the companies 

identified above that were not selected 

for individual examination, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR at 

the rates established in these final 

results of review as listed above. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements for estimated antidumping 

duties will be effective upon publication 

of this notice for all shipments of 

flanges from Spain entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided by section 

751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit 

rate for the companies subject to this 

review will be equal to the companyspecific weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

the review; (2) for merchandise exported 

by producers or exporters not covered in 

this review but covered in a prior 

completed segment of the proceeding, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published in 

the completed segment for the most 

recent period; (3) if the exporter is not 

a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation, but 

the producer has been covered in a prior 

completed segment of this proceeding, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate established in the completed 

segment for the most recent period for 

the producer of the merchandise; (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 18.81 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation of this 

proceeding.13 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction or return of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the destruction or return 

of APO materials or conversion to 

judicial protective order is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Glycine From Japan: Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2021–2022 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

Yuki Gosei Kogyo Co., Ltd. (YGK) and 

Nagase & Co., Ltd. (Nagase) 

(collectively, YGK/Nagase) made sales 

of glycine from Japan at less than 

normal value during the period of 

review (POR) June 1, 2021, through May 

31, 2022. 

DATES: Applicable December 20, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 7, 2023, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Results.1 We invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results. The review covers 

one mandatory respondent, YGK/ 

Nagase. On November 3, 2023, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

final results of review until December

2See Memorandum, ‘‘Glycine from Japan: 

Extension of Deadline for Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,’’ dated 

November 3, 2023. 

3See Memorandum, ‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum for the Final Results of the 

Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty 

Order on Glycine from Japan; 2021–2022,’’ dated 

concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this 

notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). 

4See Issues and Decision Memorandum at 

Comments 4, 5, and 8. 

5Based on the record information, Commerce 

preliminarily determined that Nagase and YGK are 

affiliated within the meaning of section 771(33)(E) 

of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 

should be treated as a single entity pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.401(f). See Preliminary Results. No party 

commented on our preliminary determination with 

respect to this issue, and we have received no new 

information regarding this issue. Therefore, we 

determine that Nagase and YGK are affiliated 

within the meaning of section 771(33)(E) of the Act. 

6 In these final results, Commerce applied the 

assessment rate calculation method adopted in 

Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the 

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 

Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 

Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 

(February 14, 2012).

occurred since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Results, may be found in

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is glycine. Glycine and glycine 

slurry are classified under Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) subheading 2922.49.43.00. 

Sodium glycinate is classified in the 

HTSUS under 2922.49.80.00. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties to this 

administrative review are addressed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

For a list of the issues raised by parties, 

see the appendix to this notice. The 

Issues and Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties, we made certain changes to the 

margin calculations for YGK/Nagase.4

Specifically, we made changes to the 

calculation of indirect selling expenses, 

U.S. credit expense and inventory 

carrying cost, and financial expense. 

Final Results of the Administrative 

Review 

We determine that the following 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the period June 1, 

2021, through May 31, 2022:

Disclosure 

We will disclose the calculations 

performed to parties in this proceeding 

within five days after the date of the 

public announcement of these final 

results of review, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rate 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries.6 For any 

individually examined respondents 

whose weighted-average dumping 

margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 

percent), we calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rates based on the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

importer’s examined sales to the total 

entered value of those same sales, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

Upon issuance of the final results of this 

administrative review, if any importerspecific assessment rates calculated in 

the final results are above de minimis, 

Commerce will issue instructions 

directly to CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on appropriate entries. 

To determine whether the duty 

assessment rates covering the period 

were de minimis, in accordance with 

the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer 

(or customer)-specific ad valorem rates 

by aggregating the amount of dumping 

calculated for all U.S. sales to that 

importer or customer and dividing this 

amount by the total entered value of the 

sales to that importer (or customer). 

Where an importer (or customer)- 

specific ad valorem rate is greater than 

de minimis, and the respondent has 

reported reliable entered values, we will 

apply the assessment rate to the entered 

value of the importer’s/customer’s 

entries during the POR. 

Commerce intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

directly to CBP no earlier than 35 days 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this review in the Federal 

Register. If a timely summons is filed at 

the U.S. Court of International Trade, 

the assessment instructions will direct 

CBP not to liquidate relevant entries 

until the time for parties to file a request 

for a statutory injunction has expired 

(i.e., within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of this notice for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication of these final results, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: 

(1) the cash deposit rate for respondents 

noted above will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters not covered in this 

administrative review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation, but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

subject merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other producers or 

exporters will continue to be 53.66 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.7 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

to file a certificate regarding the 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

prior to liquidation of the relevant 

entries during the POR. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
88054 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 20, 2023 / Notices 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

did occur and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return/destruction of 

APO materials, or conversion to judicial 

protective order, is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and the terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
